In a #bowl, mix @warm water{1 1/2%cups}, @salt{1%Tbsp}, and @sugar{1%tsp} until combined. Add @dry active yeast{2 1/4%tsp}, and let rest ~{5%minutes} or until yeast starts to foam.

Add @flour{4 1/2%cups} and @oil{2%tablespoons}, and mix thoroughly until a dough forms. Remove the dough and use the remaining @oil{1%tablespoon} to cover the bowl.

Cover bowl with plastic wrap, and leave in a warm place for ~{1%hour}.

Cut dough into 8 pieces and roll them out into thin ropes, twisting the two ends to form a pretzel shape. Alternatively, roll each segment into a thin rope and use a #bench scraper{} or #knife to cut into nuggets. 

Add @baking soda{2/3%cup} to a large pot of @water, and bring to a rolling boil. Boil each pretzel for ~{30%seconds} per side.

Transfer pretzels to a #baking sheet{}, brush with @beaten eggs{2}, and sprinkle with coarse @salt. Bake for ~{10-15%minutes}, until golden brown.
